I need help. For awhile now i have been on my own campain to identify the solution to Australias water crisis. I have a major solution but i lack the social skills to put my points across. I have a scientificly proven technology that provides endless water. A small unit produces 25 litres of water for example. Anywhere where there is humidity in

People have been drinking recycled waste since the 70's and no scientific evidence proves that the hormone levels are high enough to do any damage. That is, when they can prove that hormone traces can be found in the first place.

Go to the QUT science facility and ask people and every criticism can be argued using standard 2nd year (bio)chemistry.

Reverse osmosis would never provide the level of water needed to sustain agriculture, as well as large urban city centres.

Yes i do know. It is probably possibile to even kill the hepititus C. And in fact i am pro recyling for NOn potable sorces. For agriculture ect. But the propblem really lies in the responsibity of the maintanace of regulation of the health processes.
Reverse osmosis can actually be used on giant scales. There is no limit really. The full stop comes from the enviormonet and its humidity. A samll house hold unit that is unpowered and roughly the size of a normal water cooler and produce 25 litres of ionised water per day. It is entirly possible to have a large unit suply 25 000 litres per day.
I will de hydrate befopre i put my trust in a regulated saftey water suply.

If each house hold had a unit itself it wouldnt need to rely on piped water.
It is entirely possible for reverse osmosis to provide water for an intire city. what gives you the impression against it?

I will do some more research on it. I like the idea for city living, where the humidity level would allow it. And I do understand the criticism, not towards the process itself, but the trust in having it safely regulated.

I've sent that to my sister. She is in charge of the campaign against the desalination plant down at Tweed.

If it has got real potential, she just might be able to get media coverage about it.

Oh how cool is that! Thanks :)

i heard about that process years ago on some show... i wonder what reason there could be for us not hearing about it as a possible pathway... were you serious when you said it might be because of money?

i'm pretty good with communication and explaining things, etc... what kind of things specifically would you need someone to help with..?

[commandre]

though looking at the above comment, perhaps that will do?

this is cool anyhow, i reckon i'll look at setting this up, that way i can have that extra water i would have drunk in showers instead :)
